Behind Bars: Surviving Inside a Brazilian Prison

By VINICIUS NOVAES

The prison system in Brazil has earned a reputation for being medieval due to serious overcrowding, violence, and the lack of legal assistance provided to prisoners. Justice Minister Jos? Eduardo Cardozo made international headlines when he stated that he would "rather die" than spend time in a Brazilian jail.

This book tells a very sad story, of an out of ordinary man who, in a heartbeat, went from being a respected high-level federal civil servant to the class that our society most abhors: a prisoner. In this work, you will read the saga of this incredible man who, because of a thoughtless attitude and a troubled divorce, had his life turned upside down and had to deal with something unimaginable: prison.

You'll read everything he had to go through and when you think it's over, there's more disgrace ahead.

And finally, this book also makes a critical analysis of the Brazilian judicial system, which is excessively bureaucratic and has strongly embraced the idea of mass incarceration - as if prison solved all the ills of society. But will it solve? This is what I intend to reveal to you in the next few pages.
